Here's the situation:
1) 6.4 GB HD, using a boot manager like bootmagic (called masterbooter)
that switches the selected partition active and hides the other ones
2) Installed 95 on first partition
3) Installed Linux on third partition, with an extended partition after
that and a logical swap partition
4) Attempted to install NT on second partition (formated FAT).. it got
to the part of setup where it reboots and attempts to load the blue
screen
5) rebooted and tried to select the partition but it stopped dead.. 
6) looked at NT  partition.. it has the boot files there, just doesn't
want to boot
7) tried over without a boot manager (had NT partition load with dos,
that worked fine, until NT tried to reboot again and no luck.)

any sugguestions? i think im missing something here :)

Thanks all,
-Jesse [ jesse @ starmail . com ]
